Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 403kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz button mushrooms stems removed, sliced
- .5 medium red onion thinly sliced
- .25 tsp salt plus more to taste
- .25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 oz sliced prosciutto cut into strips
- 3 c baby spinach
- .333 c chopped fresh basil
- .333 c ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in generously salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium high heat.
- When the butter is melted, add the garlic, mushrooms, and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add the spinach and let it sit on top of the hot skillet for 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from heat and add the cooked spaghetti, tossing to mix everything (the spinach will wilt as you mix). Add the fresh basil and the Parmesan, toss again, and serve immediately (with extra Parmesan, if desired).
